Whilst you're all waiting to see what we have in store for the 2022 season, here's a look back at our Top 10 Dog Gifts from 2021.

Our dogs are part of the family, and we believe it’s only fair they should celebrate too this festive season. Everyone's had many ups and downs in 2021, but the one thing that's been consistent is the love and support shown by our pets. Christmas is the perfect time to show how much our pets are loved and appreciated. For this reason we've compiled our top 10 Christmas Presents for Dogs, showcasing our must have dog gifts this festive season. Dog toys, blankets, treats and many Christmas specials are all included…

1 . INNOCENT HOUND CHRISTMAS CAKE MIX

The first thing we prepare in the run up to Christmas is? It’s not the tree or the gifts, it’s the cake! Preparing the fruit and soaking in all that rum, really gets us thinking about the festivities ahead. This year don’t let the dog miss out (or be tempted by the real thing). The Innocent Hound Christmas Cake Mix is the perfect way to ensure your pampered pooch feels involved from the outset. Made with air-dried British Turkey, the easy to make mix is grain free and hypoallergenic. 

2. ANIMOLOGY GROOMING GIFTS

The scents of the festive season are what make you feel like Christmas is on it’s way. Fresh pine from your tree, roast chestnuts, cinnamon, and the smell of a roaring open fire after that brisk winter walk. The smell of a wet dog however is an unwanted but often regular occurrence at this time of year. With Animology Dog Grooming products, this can be a thing of the past without having to put them through too many baths. From Stink Bomb Deodorising Spray and Star Pups Dog Mist, to no rinse shampoos and conditioners. These are a must have this festive season.

3. PET HAMPER BURGUNDY TARTAN STAG TOY

New for 2021 is our Burgundy Tartan Stag Toy. Our team have designed this luxurious toy exclusively for Pet Hamper, so you won't see it anywhere else. Made from red tweed material, with faux sheepskin features, and that all important squeaker. This toy is sure to entertain, along with matching your home Christmas decorations perfectly.

4. FUZZYARD CHRISTMAS DRINKS RANGE

Everyone has their favorite tipple at Christmas. Now your pet can enjoy playing with your favourite festive beverage (without the fear of breaking anything). This year we're stocking the Fuzzyard Christmas Gin, Fuzzyard Merlot and Fuzzyard Champagne. Made for pooches who dream of poppin’ bottles and endless belly rubs. These super plush and addictive toys are designed in Australia at the FuzzYard toy factory by their team of creative Elves and part time dog whisperers.

5. HOUSE OF PAWS MINCE PIE DOG TOY

A mince pie that your dog can enjoy? That’s right! Here we have a festive mince pie dog toy. Featuring a crinkly crust and rope pull for extra fun! This quirky toy is perfect for larger dogs, measuring 18 x 20cm.

6. KONG SQUEAKAIR HOLIDAY CHRISTMAS BALLS

Once the mornings present giving is over, it’s time for a winter walk to get us all ready for the Christmas dinner. The Kong Squeakair Holiday Christmas Balls are the perfect accompaniment to that morning walk. Coming in a pack of two, these sparkly red and green balls bring ultra durability and an uber-bounce.  Dogs driven to fetch will delight in play sessions with these signature balls and with Kong reputation, you know these are built to last.

7. FORTHGLADE CHRISTMAS DINNER

The main event has arrived, the Christmas Dinner. With the Forthglade Dog Christmas Complete meal, you can make sure they’re not left out. Make their Christmas meal as special as yours is. Made with all natural ingredients, gently steamed to preserve goodness, your dog will love this delicious grain free meal. Packed with succulent turkey, cranberry and parsnip, it’s full of all the Christmas favourites you’ll have on the table.

8. MOLLY'S PATISSERIE X PET HAMPER CHRISTMAS DOG TREATS

After dinner the indulgence doesn’t stop for us. With these delicious Molly’s Patisserie treats you can treat them to a little extra too. Made exclusively for Pet Hamper this festive season, these Molly’s Patisserie dog treats have been hand-made from start to finish. Packed full of Christmas Cranberry, Peanut Butter and Oats these are sure to be a winner with your pooch. They’re even cut in fun Christmas shapes for extra enjoyment.

9. PET CHRISTMAS SNUGGLE BLANKET

We all love sitting in front of the fire and cosying up under a winter blanket at this time of year. The same can be said for our dogs. The Christmas Pet Snuggle Blanket has been upgraded for 2021, with both a snowflake and paw print pattern. This blanket provides a soft, plush lining for cold snuggle days and is perfect in the festive red and white colour way.

Welcome to our first post on the PetHamper.co.uk Blog! Our new blog is called 'Pet Hamper Loves' and will be made up of three main sections:

Pet Hamper Loves // Brands

As we go through the next six months we’ll be spotlighting all the UK based luxury brands we stock on our website. Then as we add new products we’ll be making sure you know all there is to know about the new brands and why you should invest in them. We pride ourselves on only stocking quality UK brands so you can trust in the knowledge that when purchasing from PetHamper you’ll be getting value for money with long-lasting, high quality products.

Pet Hamper Loves // Friends

We love investing and buying local and in this section we’ll be showcasing the groomers, doggie day care and charitable foundations we recommend and support. Initially this will be focused around suppliers we already use in and around Preston and the Fylde but as we expand our reach across new areas of the country we’ll be seeking out new friends that also provide an exceptional level of service to showcase.

Pet Hamper Loves // Locations

We all search for the best locations to go for walks where we can end with some hearty pub grub or a delicious coffee and a cake where our pets are welcomed with open arms, so this section is going to showcase pubs, restaurants and coffee shops that we’ve personally visited with our company mascot Ted the Labradoodle. We’ll then provide you with an in-partial review and a 5-star rating based on three key categories:

• Activity – how was the walk / activity where the location was based? Was there a secure space to let Ted off his lead? How were the surroundings?

• Hospitality – how was Ted received by the staff? Were we welcomed to the venue? Was there a dedicated space for guests with dogs?

• Food / Fare – how was the quality of the food / fare available at the venue? Was it good value for money? Was there any doggie menus?

If you own a venue or have somewhere that you would recommend, drop us a quick message on our contact form and we’ll add it to our list to review.

That brings our first post to an end. We hope you’ll love reading our posts as much as we’ll enjoy creating the content for you all… and of course, don’t forget to check out our shop.
